Why we use the DO-IT Profiler

Monday 9th December 2024

Championing neurodiversity, wellbeing and inclusion

As complex beings, no-one fits into one category, and no two profiles are identical. Do-It recognises this and provides an instant holistic report, outlining specific strengths and challenges the individual may have. Voice Study Centre aims to utilise these cognitive profiles to effectively implement personalised student support from the start. The DO-IT Profiler plays a crucial role in Voice Study Centre’s mission to support all students, particularly those who may be neurodivergent. As we continue to embrace the diverse needs of our student body, the DO-IT Profiler stands as a key tool in ensuring that every student can reach their full academic potential, embracing cognitive differences.

The Do-It Profiler has a vast number of features to make its systems intuitive and inclusive to those with neurodiverse brains. Establishing a web-based modular screening and assessment system, minimal training is required to use the neurodiversity screener. Generating an instant and in-depth report flagging signs of conditions such as dyspraxia, dyslexia, autism, and ADHD, our staff are able to process data and implement support aids quickly and effectively. This system is used widely in the education, health, social, employment and justice settings, as it reduces administrative burdens and enables more effective interpersonal communication. Developed by specialists with extensive experience working in neurodevelopmental services and research over more than 10 years, the Do-It Profiler is solely evidence informed. With the fundamental frameworks based on exhaustive research, this Profiler delivers results with extreme accuracy.

Taking a person-centred approach, Do-It requires multiple sources, from teachers or parents, to make an accurate calculation. Delivering instant functional guidance, this system can provide insight into the individual’s possible next steps, speeding up the diagnostic process. Localised information can be added to the system to tailor the support to that individual, suggesting local agencies, clinics, and support groups. Upon entering information, the Profiler’s layout is designed to reduce administrative burden, aiding those who struggle with cognitive overload. For those with processing difficulties, coloured overlays and spoken text that can be translated into multiple languages is available.

 

We also provide all students with 24/7, free online counselling sessions. These services provide immediate access to mental health support, ensuring that students can receive help whenever they need it, regardless of the time of day. To learn more about this service, click here.

After The Session: Practical Magic*: The Art & Science of Balancing Voices with SOVTs and VFEs with Melanie Tapson

What makes a vocal exercise effective? Is it the tool itself, the way we use it, or our understanding of what happens when we put it into practice? In Practical Magic: The Art & Science of Balancing Voices with SOVTs and VFEs, voice teacher and professional singer Melanie Tapson explored the science behind two widely used approaches to voice training: Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract Exercises (SOVTs) and Vocal Function Exercises (VFEs). Combining scientific explanations with practical demonstrations and interactive activities, the session examined how these techniques can support vocal efficiency, stamina and sustainable voice use. Rather than treating exercises as a one-size-fits-all solution, Melanie encouraged participants to understand what each exercise does, how individual voices respond and how to adapt techniques to achieve meaningful results.
